To all whom it may concern Be it known I, THOMAS G. Hrrr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, 1n

the county of King and State of Washington,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Aerial To Projectiles; and I do hereby declare the fo lowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to amusement devices and particularly to aerial projectiles for use in connection with explosive fireworks.

The objects of the invention are to provide a sim le and easily constructed articlewhich may e sold at a low cost and so be within the reach of the average American boys pocket book on the fourth of July, and other.

occasions when fireworks are used, which article will produce a large amount of pleasure at limited expense, and bev capable of repeated use in connection with-fire-crackers and other explosivematerials.

- A; further object is to provide .an aerial projectile with varied colors, preferably red, white and blue, which may be easily-thrown into the air-a considerable height by a. small amount of explosive materiaL;

A still further object is to provide 51 attractive proLectile with a hollowed base, which ma elaced over a lighted firecracker o suita le size, and which by the explosion of the fire-cracker, be thrown into the'air, for amusement pur 'oses.

invention consists in thenovfel features and construction, the combination and arrange ment of parts zhe'reinafter -more, full set forth, pointed-lent 'inlthe' claim 'and s own;

Numeral 1 is the side wall of a short round cylinder, with an open base and within the walls as'2, and the top of the cylinder is close with disk 3, of any suitable material, preferably of wood, an above the disk 3 is a ca 4 which is made in the form of a cone with a shar point 5 at the extremity, for the purposes erein mentioned.

The cylindrical walls are preferably made from thick card board, capable of withstanding considerable rough usage, yet not sufiiciently heav to revent the device being thrown u WMC wit iout great exertion or force. T18 walls of the cap'portion are preferably made of thinner and lighter material than that used; for the cylinder and ma be constructed of thin card board.

or attractiveness, I prefer to cover the walls of the cylinder andcap with colored pa or, suchas red 6, white 7 and blue 8.
